Jackery has announced three new products for its HomePower line of backup batteries, including the expandable HomePower 3600 Pro Max home backup system. The company is also planning to release a new expandable backup battery for targeted backups of things like appliances, and a new lightweight portable 1,024Wh battery that could make for a very useful uninterruptible power supply (UPS) alternative.

The HomePower 3600 Pro Max is effectively a higher-performing, more feature-packed version of Jackery’s existing HomePower 3600 Plus. It has a similar base capacity of 3,584kWh, but its output wattage has been bumped a little from a continuous 3,600 watts to 4,000 watts, with an 8,000-watt peak surge (up from 7,200 watts). It’s not quite a whole-home backup system like the Anker Solix E10 I recently reviewed, but it can automatically power the circuits connected to a manual transfer switch. Jackery says it can automatically flip on backup power in just 10 milliseconds when an outage occurs, or half the 20 milliseconds it takes the Solix E10—impressive, but perhaps practically meaningless, considering I never noticed when the Solix E10 switched to backup power in my testing.
